Overview

Program Overview

The Tripler Army Medical Center Urology Residency Program provides a comprehensive training experience with a focus on developing competent and compassionate urologists. The residency spans five years and prepares residents for the American Board of Urology (ABU) qualifying examination. Accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), the program emphasizes a wide-ranging exposure to adult and pediatric urology practices.

Located in Honolulu, Hawaii, the program instills a robust understanding of urological diseases, encompassing their etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment options.

Mission, Vision, and Aims

The mission of the program is to cultivate military urologists who are prepared and competent through diverse clinical experiences. The vision strives to produce safe and skillful urologists essential for the future of the specialty.

The program aims to provide comprehensive clinical experiences, ensure the residents develop as safe practitioners, and foster leadership skills within both military and urology settings.

Curriculum and Training Structure

The residency curriculum involves participation in weekly academic conferences covering essential topics such as journal clubs, morbidity and mortality (M&M) reviews, and specialty staff meetings. Residents engage in a structured academic schedule that includes rotations focused on oncology, general urology, reconstruction, and pediatrics. There are no elective rotations; however, clinical exposure is extensive.

Call duties vary with rotation locations; at Tripler Army Medical Center (TAMC), residents experience solo calls shared among peers. Additionally, a robust simulation curriculum exists, with monthly simulation sessions in designated labs or clinics, allowing for practical skill development.

Research and Professional Development

Residents are offered four dedicated months for research pursuits, aligning with ACGME requirements for scholarly activity. This includes projects in clinical or basic science, helping residents understand study design and implementation.

Continuous learning is emphasized via lectures focusing on professional development and quality improvement projects. Participation in these projects is integral to enhancing healthcare delivery for patients.

Training Sites

Training is conducted primarily at the Tripler Army Medical Center, with affiliations extending to various locations, including Kaiser Permanente Moanalua Medical Center and Kapiolani Women’s and Children’s Hospital. This variety ensures comprehensive exposure to different aspects of urological care.

Applicant Information

The program encourages 4th-year medical students to partake in interview rotations. Both in-person and virtual interview options are available to accommodate applicants from various locations. Graduates of the program typically pursue the American Board of Urology Part 1 examination shortly after completing training.

Competitiveness and Requirements

The Tripler Army Medical Center Urology Residency Program is considered competitive, focusing on military applicants, while also welcoming individuals from diverse educational backgrounds, including DO and IMGs. Specific application requirements have not been detailed, but general expectations for residency applications apply.

Visa Support

The program provides support for visa sponsorship, typically B visas for medical training and educational purposes. International applicants must validate their eligibility through the required channels.

Well-Being and Social Interests

With a smaller, close-knit residency cohort, residents have numerous opportunities for social engagement outside of clinical settings. The program organizes annual resident retreats and informal meet-ups to foster camaraderie and well-being among participants.

Faculty and Mentorship

The program faculty spans various specialties in urology, including urologic oncology and pediatric urology. While formal mentorship structures may not be assigned, mentorship typically develops organically within the training environment.

Residents frequently engage in teaching roles, conducting lectures and leading their peers and medical students during rotations.
